3 (good) reasons why you need DWProfessional
IT’S RELEVANT
It helps you do your job better.
We bring you unique takeaways that answer your desire to design for a better world. We do so by talking to designers, inventors, material experts, company owners and communicators.
IT’S INDEPENDENT
It has no hidden product placement or sponsored content.
DWProfessional is a curated editorial product: we select our stories carefully and take time to evaluate them following a free-spirited, open-minded approach.
IT’S COMMUNITY-FUELED
It welcomes your ideas.
We know many heads think better than one. Have you got topics you would like us to explore? Drop us a line!
“An editorial product that talks to me and that I can relate to: taking notes when you read an article is a pleasure I hadn’t felt for a long time”
Daniel Nikolovski, Industrial Designer
“It goes directly into the heart of matters and wastes no time in superficial topics: it dares to talk about designers’ problems and to propose critical issues”
Raffaella Mangiarotti, Industrial Designer
“I particularly appreciate the intellectual honesty, the open-mindedness and the controversial topics: I realized I missed so much independent journalism”
Jangir Maddadi, Industrial Designer
“Magazines normally don’t dive into the real issues of design: how things come to be, the problems, the relationships, the backstage. Things we came to read on DWProfessional”
Erica Agogliati and Francesca Avian, Flatwig Studio
“Designers want to know how things are made and it’s good to have a magazine that explains into the ins and outs of product design”
Valerio Sommella, Industrial Designer
“While reading it I was thinking: it’s like a dinner with designers friends, when we talk freely about what we do and exchange ideas”
Libero Rutilo, Industrial Designer
DWProfessional is for you if…
You have a curious mind
You like to look around, and beyond. You are an avid, selective and attentive reader. You seek inspiring thoughts coming from different worlds and want to connect the dots.
You are a creative professional
Your job requires thinking outside the box and managing inspirations, projects, and relationships in order to come up with outputs that are relevant, for you and others.
You believe in innovation
You are passionate about game-changing ideas and people, always wondering “how they did it”. Because you want to do it too…
DWProfessional brings you behind the scenes of the Design World
A new, independent editorial product brought to you by DesignWanted in collaboration with DesignAtLarge.it.
We all know that most of what we read, when it comes to design and products, is PR-driven, with little in-depth analysis or independent views. For those who love design it’s extremely frustrating. And now, more than ever, creatives need trustworthy sources.
DWProfessional requires an economic effort from readers – the price to pay for independent reporting. We take this responsibility seriously and commit to bringing to you only what we consider relevant and worth this effort.
DWProfessional is about
PRODUCTION TALES
What it takes to move your idea from concept to production, explained by designers and/or company technical departments.
WORDS THAT MATTER
We clarify the meaning of things that you can say when you want to have your saying: (buzz)words, explained.
SURVIVAL TALES
How design studios work (and survive): in dealing with projects, clients, collaborators, ideas, economic issues, technological innovations. And in envisioning a sustainable future.
MATERIALS
Everyone is crazy about new materials. Some are, indeed, very cool. But what can you actually do with them? How useful are they, and in which contexts?
THE BUSINESS OF DESIGN
How do you turn a product or a material into a company? Brand stories issued from design concepts.
BLAST FROM THE PAST
Facts on iconic products and designers are everywhere: so we assume you got all that and focus on turning historical information into practical tips for today’s creatives.
DESIGN MINDSET
We enter designers’ minds to discover what drives their creative work: sharing tips, advice and visions from professionals who have something interesting (and clear-cut) to say.
